  My dear Muriel,

  Well, once again,

  I'm still going on nicely, + had

  my first swab taken today - ie

  the 1st of the 3 necessary ones. I hope

  they are all clear without a break +

  I shall then see you all the earlier,

  bless you! It has been very windy

  + bitterly cold all day (+ yesterday

  also). We can see the sea (no pun) from

  here although it is a mile or two away,

  + when the wind is in the right

  direction, I can distinctly smell it.

  I did so today + it is grand. It makes

  me think of you at Scarboro! I had

  a letter from Lochie yesterday dated
